We have some fantastic news for Assassin’s Creed fans now as we can confirm that the public beta for the highly anticipated title has just gone live today. Previously it was only available for PlayStation Plus users and other select people but now it is available for everyone else.

However, as like every other public beta, spaces are going to be extremely limited and Ubisoft has already advised fans that they should download the beta from the PlayStation Store now if they want to avoid disappointment by leaving it too late.

The beta is available as of 10am UK time this morning, and it will last until September 11th according to the official EU PlayStation Blog. There will be nine playable characters in the multiplayer beta, some of which include the bombardier, the trickster, the sentinel, the deacon and much more. Three maps will be available to choose from and these are Knight’s hospital, Antioch and Constantinople.

Another great thing about the beta as despite the fact that it will only last a few days, Ubisoft has even included a full set of leaderboards for players to utilize as well, although Ubisoft will probably reset them when the full game is out.

If you are planning to participate in the Assassin’s Creed Revelations beta or if you already have access to it, you’ll find the official beta guide very useful on Ubisoft’s website. You’ll find detailed information on the characters, multiplayer modes, perks and abilities available in the beta so there is plenty of content to keep you busy.

Are you a self-confessed Assassin’s Creed fanatic? If so, let us know your opinions on the beta so far – is it shaping up to be the best Assassin’s Creed game so far or not?
